I once wrote a poem about hope. Maybe it can give you some strenght in bad times like this. Hugs across the ocean to you and Jack.

Light Across The Sea

Sometimes your life just crashesAnd the walls come tumbling downEverything lost once so preciousMakes laughter lose its crown

Don't waste your time just grievingOver times that could have beenDon't blame yourself for ignoringThe things you should have seen

Life is just too preciousPlease don't let it fall apartAnd you'll see, in those ashesAre moments that touched your heart

Maybe we are all just fishesSwimming in this big wide seaRushing off into the darknessOn the run and never free

But somewhere in the darknessThere's a light across the seaAll you need to do is reach outAnd find that light in me

Oh Thank You so much! That is one of the most beautiful poems I have ever read!!!! "Don't waste your time just grieving" .... That line touched my heart and is perfect for my situation.

Jack is not doing well...He's gone off his food and has sadness in his eyes. His mind is sharp but his body is failing quickly. I can feel that his spirit wants to stay because he thinks he needs to take care of me. So, I had a chat with him about an hour ago and assured him that I will be fine..he needs to move on. Watching him do the march toward death is very difficult but I'm trying to be strong for him. Crossing over is never easy.

Thank you for sharing your words and the love through music. I will keep you updated.
